Acer Aspire Vero National Geographic Special Edition Now Up for Pre-Order
Acer Aspire Vero National Geographic Special Edition
At a launch event in Kuala Lumpur, the Acer Aspire Vero National Geographic Special Edition was announced to have limited pre-orders in Malaysia. Each purchase will help support the National Geographic Society’s efforts in protecting our world through exploration, research, and education. Furthermore, Acer Malaysia will put RM100 towards funding tree adoptions as well.
Like the original, the chassis is made up of material blend consisting of 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, and it’s made this way to ensure that it is still rigid, durable, and look good without the need for paint. The Acer Aspire Vero National Geographic Edition further builds on this with its design, featuring several diagonal lines on the top cover, a small extract of a topographic map, the iconic logo, and more.
The laptop display bezels are made up of 30% PCR plastic while the keyboard is made up of 50% PCR plastic. Altogether, it’s expected to reduce carbon emissions by 21%. Just like with the original, Acer is making it easy to repair and maintain the laptop as they’ve neatly organized the internal for easy replacement. All you have to do is remove 11 Phillips-head screws from the bottom cover.
The packaging itself is made up of 85% recycled paper and it can be transformed into a triangular laptop stand, letting you make full use of everything that you are getting. It’s also worth noting that the laptop sleeve is made up of 100% industrial recycled plastic (PIR) and there’s an additional 100% PIR plastic between the laptop display and keyboard.
